La, la, la
Wonder boy, life's just begun
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, don't sigh, don't groan
Life is only what you wonder
Day is as light as your brightest dreams
Night is as dark as you feel it ought to be
Time is as fast as the slowest thing
Life is only
Wonder boy, wonder boy
Everybody is looking for the sun
People strain their eyes to see
But I see you and you see me
And ain't that wonder?
Wonder boy, some mother's son
Life is full of work and [unverified]
Easy go, life is not real
Life is only what you conjure
Wonder boy, and the world is joy
Every single day it's the real McCoy
Wonder boy
Everybody is looking for the sun
People strain their eyes to see
But I see you and you see me
And ain't that wonder?
Wonder boy, some mother's son
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, go have your fun
Life is only, life is only, life is only
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, don't sigh, don't groan
Life is only what you wonder
Night is as dark as you feel it ought to be
Time is as fast as the slowest thing
Life is only
People strain their eyes to see
But I see you and you see me
And ain't that wonder?
Life is full of work and [unverified]
Easy go, life is not real
Life is only what you conjure
Every single day it's the real McCoy
People strain their eyes to see
But I see you and you see me
And ain't that wonder?
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, go have your fun
Life is only, life is only, life is only

anyone notice that Oasis ripped this off as part of their song "She's Electric"?
This was John Lennon's Favourite Kinks' Song
I love this song.
It makes me feel so happy and free.
"Everybody is looking for the sun People strain their eyes to see But I see you and you see me And ain't that wonder?"
Simply beautiful.
i wrote a script based on this song, for my college. now everyone calls me wonderboy haha.
it's completely amazing.
The Kinks bassist apparantly got really fed up doing the backing vocals. Don't blame him but it's such an ace song...
This song is about existentialism and it turns my head upside down whenever I listen to the lyrics.
I think this is about a sad person who doesn't see himself as a wonderful person so one of his friend tries to convince him that he's wonderful.
I can see why it was Lennon's favorite Kinks song; It seemed to sum up his whole philosophy to life.
